<h1>Saving a derived element</h1>
<p>After you have created a derived element you can save it for use on 
 future reports or documents.</p>
<h2>To save a derived element</h2>
<ol>
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>After creating your derived element, 
 click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Save As</B></span>. The Save As dialog 
 box opens.</p></li>
	
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>Browse to the folder in which you 
 want to save the derived element.</p></li>
	<ul>
<li class=p-Steps-Bulleted-1><p class=Steps-Bulleted-1>If you want 
 to save the derived element in a new folder, click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>New 
 folder. </B></span>The New Folder dialog box opens. Create a new folder as 
 described in 
<a href="Create_a_new_folder.htm">Creating a folder</a>. 
 </p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>In the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Name</B></span> 
 text box, type the name of the derived element.</p></li>
	
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>In the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Description 
 </B></span>text box, type a short description for the derived element.</p></li>
	
<li class=p-Steps><p class=Steps>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>OK</B></span>. 
 The derived element is saved. </p></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note: </B></span>If you attempt to save 
 a derived element with the same name and location as an existing derived 
 element, a dialog box will open and tell you that you are attempting to 
 overwrite an existing object. You will then be returned to the Save As 
 dialog box to give the derived element a new name or location.</p>
